Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Q: How do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child's interests lie, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Hi! I’m Elianna, and I love working with kids. I feel like I connect really easily with them because I’m fun and caring, but also responsible and always make sure they’re safe and taken care of. I have about 4 years of babysitting experience, mostly watching my two nieces since they were newborns (they’re now 4 and 2). I’ve also worked at Kumon for 2 years, helping kids ages 2–13 with learning and staying focused. I’ve taken child development classes and a teaching class, so I understand how kids grow, learn, and stay safe. I also took CPR and First Aid before and have refreshed it through my classes. I really enjoy being a sitter because I love building bonds with kids and being someone they feel comfortable and happy around!
